Newbie question - equipment with good resale value

The Wyred 4 Sound Class D amps seem to retain a lot of their original value at resale so far.

In general, I see products that offer high value (performance/dollar) as those that seem to hold value best. Wyred is a prime example.

People seem to take the biggest pounding with more esoteric or one off products that may offer very high performance but also cost a fortune and have more of a niche high end following.

Off course, when new models come out with various technology improvements for comparable cost, then value of older designs will go down somewhat as a result.

Its, hard, but one good strategy to apply is to always wait if you can to buy or upgrade because you will generally tend to be able get more value at a particular price point the longer you wait.

Then of course some good pieces may be rarer and last a long time or be easily refurbished and become sought after collector items that eventually sell for way more than their original cost. For example, I recently saw a Thorens arm lift like the one I have used on my table for 25 years up for sale here for about 8-10 times the amount I recall paying for mine new years ago because these devices are hard to come by these days and those willing to drop thousands on a good table have no qualms about dropping a couple hundred on a device that can make their life easier.
